root error?

Hi, whenever I enter root I get this message..

QStandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory /run/user/1000, 1000 instead of 0

Is this anything to be worried about/how would I go about fixing this?

Thank you!

Re: root error?

How do you "enter root"? If you start a graphical application you don't have a running dbus session, if absolutely necessary to run a GUI as root (don't make a habit of that though) invoke it with

dbus-launch --exit-with-session $command

Re: root error?

Hi, sorry if I was using the wrong terminology, new to Linux.

I just open a console (terminator) and hit 'su'.

Before i never had the error code come up, but mysteriously it appeared so I was wondering what caused it/how would I get rid of it?

Thank you

Re: root error?

how did you install arch and your desktop? and what desktop are you using? how do you log in?

Followed the wiki, and are you asking what desktop environment? KDE Plasma 5

I'm not sure what you mean by how do I log in?

Re: root error?

You're using terminator in KDE?
Anyway, your root login shell executes "some™" Qt client (from bashrc, etc/profile or such) which complains because the environment isn't updated and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to the one of UID 1000 (your default user) which doesn't fit UID 0 (root login)

Is something wrong with terminator in KDE? I like it more than the default ones, especially how the windows can be split easily.

Anyways, I just wanted to post the solution I found for anyone in the future that has a similar problem.

There it was, an issue on the windows end -- at this point, omg so happy to be getting an actual error I can investigate.
This error is a lack of memory for the service on the windows machine -- Similar to a post made in the samba issuse post I referenced in my original post.
The solution - regedit -- change the following
Computer\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\La nmanServer\Parameters
Size - from 1 to 3
Computer\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Ses sion Manager\Memory Management
LargeSystemCache - from 0 to 1
Restart windows machine.

Re: root error?

Not at all, it's just uncommon (terminator is the VTE provided by GNOME, KDE usually has konsole) but htf does some samba related windows configuration impact *this* topic about a warning when entering a root shell? That doesn't make any sense. o_O
